Poppler < 0.56.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 101167

Synopsis

A package installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Poppler installed on the remote host is prior to 0.56.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A stack-based overflow condition exists in the getColor() function in GfxState.cc due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to crash the process, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-9775)

- An integer overflow condition exists in the combine() function in JBIG2Stream.cc due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-9775)

Solution

Upgrade to Poppler version 0.56.0 or later.
